If Only...

wishes were horses, then beggars could ride, et cetera and so forth. If only someone really were casting a new adaptation of TSP and giving the Percy role to Tom Hiddleston... because he'd be so totally perfect. We all know it in our heart of hearts but some talented artist actually took the time to envision it, and voila.

My dear Leaguettes,When first hearing your choice for Percy, I couldn't believe my ears.THAT person being my beloved Sir Percy? Why, I was only just reconciled to the idea of his being a hero and an English gentleman after Henry V and Return to Cranford ( but what better proof does an actor need than to be the best King Hal in existence, and have an ever so slightly adorable romance with Peggy?) Chauvelin would have been more my thought for him. We all know he can play a perfect villain.I couldn't picture him as Percy, but with this picture... If anyone else tries to play TSP, do something! Riot perhaps, or plan a campaign. And yes, yes, Carissa Horton, this on the big screen would be too much awesomeness for the world to cope with. Now, to find a Marguerite who has golden-red hair and can walk the sensitive tightrope between deluded tool of Monsieur Chambertin and "the cleverest woman in Europe"...

The Leaguettes

...one hundred and fifty years ago the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel was made up of nineteen gallant English gentlemen, but now, by contrast, I can enroll under my banner hundreds of thousands -- nay, millions -- of men and women of every nation; all those, in fact, who worship beauty, who dream romantic dreams, who love every kind of adventure, so be it that adventure is spiced with danger. Every soldier of fortune -- and your modern world counts these by the million -- is really a member of this new League of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
